I thought we went through this site MONTHS ago mate on the KE or SEO Elite forum.
K
<meta name="keywords" content="Asking, Pay Rise, How To, Ask">
no need to put commas in there, just put "asking for a pay rise"
then again, really no need to to place the keyword meta tag on the page, doesn't really do much any hows.
description is weak.
<meta name="description" content="How to Ask Your Boss for a Pay Rise, Asking For A Pay Rise">
should be more like.
Need a Pay Rise? We show you how to ask for a pay rise and get the rise you want - negotiate your pay rise now!ya gotta remember, it's a pitch as well as a description of the page, if you can place keywords in there and make it turn more into a pitch, you'll get a higher click through via organic results.
I see that you just went to Digg, the page got indexed two hours ago. Your description there is very weak, weaker than the one you have on your page right now.
The description is one of the MOST important parts of your page, or any submission you do with a link on it, you need to think about the visitor, pull them in, spend time creating a worthy description with the keywords and related keywords in your description, not the same one for every submission, you're the professional here in your niche, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem creating different variations of a descriptive text to not only pull in visitors, but to help increase the overall relevancy of your page.
It's not just about submitting a link with desired anchor text, the more you can place related words in your text, gives a broader picture, in the search engines eyes, of what your page is about and ranks you high for it, if done properly.
This is what I refer to as "semantically related indexing".
=======
ALT text, dont see any alt text on your images.
=====
use dreamweaver to make your page sizes smaller, the format in which the page is generating the code is awful, make it more se friendly,and use CSS too.
========
Title, is a bit weak too
Pay Rise: Did You Ask For Pay Rise? Negotiate Your Way - Here's How
It's more catchy too.
=======
I'd also create more articles, and probably re-do that page, it's not doing anything for me, looks more like a recorded conversation than anything, put some hard facts in it, or snippets of hard facts and link those up from your asking for a pay rise page, and create a string of documents all related to negotiating for a pay rise, etc, if you're a professional in this niche, you shouldn't have a problem creating about 20 articles with power words, linked up to other articles, etc.
========
You shouldn't have any problem ranking for "asking for a pay rise" at all, after checking for backlinks, you hardly have any, and it's been months since we discussed this mate and you've not done anything.
Loz laid out in one of the videos.
